These are always so fun to make. MUSE is such an amazing instrument. It's like tuning through an FM radio

The Dome is currently being put together patiently, following the IKEA assembly instructions, at the base camp -- we call it the Lego site.

The light blue part is currently being worked on and installed.

The Cone Nebula is part of a star-forming region of space, NGC 2264, about 2,500 light-years away. Its pillar-like appearance is anexample of the shapes that can develop in giant clouds of cold molecular gas and dust, known for creating new stars. This dramatic new view of the nebula was captured with the FORS2 instrument on ESO’s Very Large Telescope (VLT), and released on the occasion of ESO’s 60th anniversary. Image Credit: ESO
